- Farmer Carville Mace is working hard at Foxleigh Farm to bring in the last of the watermelon harvest. With a quick recap of how they planted their fields with this iconic summer fruit, we see just how much the melons have grown. Carville explains the important skill of knowing when a watermelon is ripe, which he can sense just by tapping the fruit and listening to them. As the day goes on, Carville, his family, and their farmhands, pick wagon loads of melons, which are then washed and sold at stores and their family farm stand.

Can't never imagine life without watermelon
Melon :D
Ain't nothing like a cold slug of watermelon on a hot summer day
I love this upload since you included the behind-the-scenes of your hard work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Mmm I worked in the watermelons since I was 14 years old and I loved it ❤️
More often than not you'll want to wait until a stem is brown as opposed to green before you harvest a melon for optimal ripeness but these guys have to make sure their produce stays fresher longer than a backyard gardener so I can see where he's coming from.
Hello👋🏾 from Oakland, CA
I enjoyed your video.
Those Sugar Babies are amazing.
Hello from Kansas 🇺🇲
Thanks for coming!
I love them !!!!
Me too
When you're working outside in heat there's nothing better than frozen watermelon. If you catch it right when it's cold through and not completely frozen it's perfect. I ate like 80 watermelon last summer doing pools!!!
Cool vid
I raise a small watermelon and cantaloupe patch here in southern MD, the biggest pain in the neck is keeping the grass out!
My key is only buy the round seedless ones with stripes - they are always perfect.
That is nice
I want the job of sampling watermelons! 😂
Maybe we have to touch base with a watermelon taster for our next episode! Thank you for catching our show!

make a stream if u want and put the watermelons down a river
What happens with the Melons they are to big? is it able to eat it? be sure that 35 Million peoble die every year worldwide becouse they have to less to eat.
They're throwing the ones that are overripe back into the field, where I assume they get eaten by wildlife. They didn't throw any away for being too big, they just sorted them by size because they know different customers want different sizes.
